CLASS CHARACTERISTICS

Facilities Maintenance Worker I: This is the entry-level classification in the facilities maintenance class series. Initially under close supervision, incumbents with basic maintenance experience learn County infrastructure, systems, and facilities, use of tools and equipment, and a wide variety of practices and procedures. As experience is gained, assignments become more varied and are performed with greater independence. Positions at this level usually perform most of the duties required of the positions at the II level but are not expected to function at the same skill level and usually exercise less independent discretion and judgment in matters related to work procedures and methods. Work is usually supervised while in progress and fits established structure or pattern. Exceptions or changes in procedures are explained in detail as they arise. Since this class is often used as a training class, employees may have only limited or no directly related work experience. This classification is flexibly staffed with Facilities Maintenance Worker II, and incumbents normally advance to the higher level after gaining experience and achieving proficiency which meet the requirements for the Facilities Maintenance Worker II.

Facilities Maintenance Worker II: This is the full journey-level classification in the facilities maintenance class series that performs mechanical and electrical maintenance duties at County buildings and facilities required to ensure that all are maintained in a safe and effective working condition and provide the highest level of safety for County and public use. Incumbents are responsible for performing maintenance and alterations on County buildings and facilities, heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC), and other electrical and mechanical systems, identifying and evaluating construction-related problems, and performing installation and repairs on plumbing systems. Incumbents are expected to work independently and exercise judgment and initiative. Positions at this level receive only occasional instruction or assistance as new or unusual situations arise and are fully aware of the operating procedures and policies of the work unit. Facilities Maintenance Workers II may specialize in particular areas of the work and may provide technical and functional direction to lower-level staff. This class is distinguished from Senior Facilities Maintenance Worker in that the latter is responsible for technical and functional supervision of lower-level maintenance staff and is capable of performing the most complex duties assigned to the function.

Senior Facilities Maintenance Worker: This is the advanced journey-level classification in the Building Maintenance series that performs the most complex duties required to ensure County buildings, facilities, and grounds are maintained in a safe and effective working condition and provide the highest level of safety for public use. Responsibilities include training, developing and scheduling Building Maintenance Workers, inspecting and attending to assigned areas in a timely manner, and performing a wide variety of tasks in the maintenance and repair of County buildings, facilities and grounds. This class is distinguished from the Facilities Maintenance Supervisor in that the latter is the full supervisory-level class in the series.

The positions in the Facilities Maintenance Worker class series are flexibly staffed and positions at the higher level are normally filled by advancement from the lower-level based on department need after gaining the knowledge, skill, and experience which meet the qualifications for and after demonstrating the ability to perform the work of the higher-level class.
